2325 GMT - The devil is in the detail of Mineral Resources' latest resource assessment for its Onslow Iron Project, says Barrenjoey. MinRes yesterday lifted Onslow's ore reserves by 73% and its resource by 89%. Analyst Glyn Lawcock says the bulk of the uplift was due to two new deposits. Also, a wet processing plant from FY 2029 in now assumed in the life-of-mine plan, while 39% of updated reserves are subject to permitting risks. Meanwhile, the long-run iron ore price assumption has increased. "While restated reserves imply a mine life of 10 years, only 70% of Measured/Indicated resources have been converted and there are multiple deposits within the mining lease that are yet to be classified," Barrenjoey says. "So we remain comfortable with our assumed 20-year mine life for Onslow." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
